Royal Wedding & Speech


So the Royal Wedding in Sweden is over. Victoria got her Daniel. It is beautiful The best of it in 6 minutes



The King´s Speech:

Your Majesties, Your Imperial Highness, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Her Majesty the Queen and I wish to greet you all with a most heartily welcome to the Royal Palace and to this wedding gala dinner. It is wonderful to see you all here! On behalf of my family – and especially on behalf of my oldest daughter and my son in law – I wish to thank you for coming and for participating in our joy! You will always be a part of this unforgettable and memorable day!


The groom´s speech:

There have been times when Victoria´s official duties have separated us. Often taken her to faraway countries and continents. I will never forget some years ago when she left for one of her many trips, this time to China.

We were going to be apart for a whole month. The night before she left she got home late after an official engagement, and she had many preparations to make before the long month of duties ahead. Instead of getting some valuable sleep she stayed up the whole night writing.

In the morning after she had gone I found a box. And in that box I found 30 beautiful letters addressed to me. One for every day she would be away.

This romantic gesture is typical of you Victoria. It says everything about the loving person you are.

Once upon a time the young man was... perhaps not a frog, in the beginning of the fairytale...(laugh)...as in the story first told by the Grimm brothers. But he was certainly not a prince.

The first kiss did not change that. His transformation was not possible without the support of the wise king and queen, who had ruled the kingdom for many years, and who were full of wisdom, experience and had good heart.

They knew what was best and guided the couple with a gentle hand, generously sharing all their experience.
xoxo,
Vicky
